Team News

Sean Dyche has no new injury concerns ahead of Saturday's game, with Aaron Lennon and Steven Defour remaining the club's only unavailable players.

Lennon will miss a reunion with his former club due to a knee injury, which has kept his out for Burnley's last nine games, whilst Defour has only played six league games this season because of an ongoing calf problem.

Pictures from Tottenham's training ground on Wednesday have provided hope that top scorer Harry Kane could feature for the visitors, after the England captain returned to training ahead of schedule after an ankle ligament injury.

It is unclear, however, as to whether Saturday's game will be too soon for Kane.

Predicted Lineups

Head to Head Record

In the history of a fixture which dates back to an FA Cup clash in 1906, Tottenham have just edged Burnley, winning 46 of the matches between the sides, with Burnley winning 40.

Burnley have not beaten Spurs since May 2010. The game, despite Burnley's victory on that occasion was a bit of a damp squib, with Burnley already condemned to relegation and Spurs having sealed a place in the Champions League for the first time in their history.

Tottenham recorded a 1-0 win against Burnley earlier in the campaign, thanks to a stoppage time Christian Eriksen strike, which saw Spurs snatch the three points after some resolute Clarets defending.

Recent Form

After Burnley's 5-1 home defeat to Everton during week 19 of the season, the Clarets were sat in 18th place on 12 points. Sean Dyche's team have since gone seven games unbeaten, shooting them up to 15th place with 27 points, three points clear of the drop zone.

Their last Premier League match saw them win 3-1 in a crucial relegation 'six pointer' at the Amex Stadium against Brighton, thanks to a double from forward Chris Wood and an Ashley Barnes strike.

An impressive 3-0 victory against Borussia Dortmund in Tottenham's last fixture marked a fourth staright victory in all competitions, with them all coming at Wembley.
